The Cartoons:

1. Liz Montague makes her debut in the issue. Ms. Montague is the fourth cartoonist to debut this year, and the twenty-eighth new cartoonist brought in since Emma Allen became the magazine’s cartoon editor in May of 2017.

2. There are two — count ’em, two — desert island drawings in this issue. One by Tom Chitty, and the other by Pia Guerra (it appears on the Caption Contest page).
